Massachusetts H713 allows students to be credited as present for up to 5 days of 4-H program participation.

Massachusetts H713 amends Chapter 76 of the General Laws to support student participation in 4-H programs. It allows schools to credit students as present for up to 5 days of 4-H activities, similar to educational field trips. Schools must provide opportunities for students to make up missed work and ensure grades are not affected. Massachusetts 4-H agents must provide documentation of participation upon request. However, students cannot be credited for participation during certain testing periods or if they are suspended or expelled.
